The battleground, marginal constituencies where the next general Election will be decided.
Public Opinion
Can satisfaction with the NHS get any higher? December 2011
A GFK/NOP poll has found that the public oppose the government’s plan for GPs to take control of £80bn of the NHS budget. The survey of a 1000 people, carried out for the NHS Support Federation found that two thirds (65%) did not want GPs to extend their duties beyond medical matters and take on the buying of care from local hospitals.
The poll was carried out by GFK/NOP and organised by Prof Colin Francome on behalf of the Federation between 4TH – 6TH MARCH 2011, it asked 1000 adults aged 16+ the following:
The government is proposing that doctors should not concentrate solely on medical matters, but should also take on a role in organising payments for hospital care. Do you agree or disagree with this change? In response 27% agreed, 65% disagreed, 7% answered don’t know.
